Regional plots of the susceptibility locus rs17095681.
Regional plots of newly discovered locus rs17095681 associated with the risk for NSCL/P in a Chinese population in the GWAS discovery stage. The results (−log10 P, P-value of GWAS) are shown for SNPs in the region 400 kb upstream or downstream of the marker SNP. The marker SNP is shown as a purple diamond in the GWAS stage and as a purple circle in the combined stage. The LD values (r2) between the SNPs and the most strongly associated SNP (diamond), rs17095681 are indicated by the heat scale. The genes within the region of interest are annotated, and the directions of transcripts are shown in arrows.
